So Arteta being named captain presumably means Wenger intends to start him regularly.

[Monty91]

So with everyone fit, which 4 players are gonna miss out on even being on the bench?

Ospina
Chambers
Monreal
Flamini
Cazorla
Rosicky
Theo
Oxlaide Chamberlain
Podolski
Sanogo
Campbell

We have too many players, though, m

Lil' bit pointless speculation innit

[Luis Anaconda]

He hardly ever picked Kehl

[Monty91]

and now he is captain with only Flamini (or Diaby, at a push) as a challenger for his position.

Poor Gnabbers. He doesn't even earn a place on my 'potential substitutes' list :-(

He is still active in the market.

So that's next summers transfer story. The arsenal lose another captain to Barcelona.

it would surely only be to usurp Arteta, which now seems unlikely.

Otherwise why not give the armband to the big German lad.

Aaron is our no 10. Why can't they just stay still

Don't see Jack in a classic number 10 position. Expect him to play deeper than that.

Know Wenger doesn't pay much attention to the supposed importance of a captain.

He had the opportunity to give it to someone else last summer when the signs pointed towards Vermaelen being 3rd choice but he let him keep it.

[Ben.]

although now I'm more concerned we won't bring in any form of midfielder.

You can just see it if you peer over the gates from the other side of the road. It’s built on the site of a much older house for which Fitzroy Park was originally the driveway.

To sign a DM who can fill in at CB rather than a 3rd choice CB. Just my opinion though.

Although inexperienced Chambers will need game time. He won't get any as 4th choice CB.

[Ben.]

he looks really classy, slightly concerning moment where he made Dzeko look quick, he looks much more a centre back than a full back to me.
Apparently Carvalho played centre back when he was in Belgium, I just worry if we get too many of these players who can cover multiple positions, it's slightly cutting corners and if we have a few injuries in different positions we'll be in trouble.

Not too bad, as I recall.

[Luis Anaconda]

but the Highgate is just opposite and the Winchester further down the road has loads of screens and is quite decent
